Locking engineered hardwood is a durable floor covering,
not intended as structural material. Locking engineered
hardwood requires a clean, dry, secure subfloor that meets
building codes. Locking engineered hardwood flooring can
be installed above, on or below grade.
The following requirements are not intended to supersede
federal, state or local building codes, but as with many
other interior finish products, may require modifying
existing structural components for successful installation.
Owner assumes responsibility for compliance with all
building codes.
All work involving water or moisture (plumbing, masonry,
painting, plastering) must be completed prior to flooring
installation. Building envelope must be complete and
exterior doors and windows installed. Exterior grading and
gutter downspouts should be completed and permanent
HVAC systems in operation.
Precautions should be taken to protect floors from other
trade work. Do not cover floors with plastic, red rosin, felt
or wax paper or previously used cardboard. Instead, use
a breathable material such as clean, dry, plain uncoated
cardboard or craft paper; inks from printed cardboard could
damage the hardwood floor. The floor should be thoroughly
cleaned before covering to remove grit and debris that
would damage the finish.
